That's why I've never seen it 😎

What's that? Never seen it before

Thanks, David. I saw Cecil come up on stage and talk to McBride, but after a few minutes of discussion he left and never came back. Glad I was there, anyway!

With the wave of interest in Strata-East lately, I'm finally getting around to listening to ALL of this. Quite a wide variety of styles. Nice to have some of the albums now being reissued included here.

The Chinen discussion was interesting today. I was hoping they might discuss the Clifford Jordan Strata-East Mosaic box and how that came to be. It's discussed in the booklet, but would have been nice to hear more about it.

Wow - INTENSE! I only saw them once. I think it might have been the Incident tour. Not my favorite album of theirs.

At first it didn't do anything for me, but I recently checked it out again and changed my mind. One of their best live albums! But 2 1/2 hours? Was their show that long?

Been listening to this singer lately. I really like what she does with her voice and her songs. This is how she describes herself, but I would say she's more like McRae than any of those others. Far too many new singers try to emulate Ella and Sarah, so it's nice to hear one who doesn't. [Singer Vanisha Gould was inspired by artists like Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Joni Mitchell, Carmen McRae and Ella Fitzgerald, she has successfully curated her own sound as a composer and band leader. Performing originals and music from the Great American Songbook on stages both in New York and overseas, she aspires to continue sharing her voice with audiences in New York and beyond.]

Arrived today - that was FAST!

Very sad. Was looking forward to seeing her at Big Ears: Susan Alcorn Septet

She lived a "full" life, that's for sure! I was fortunate to see her in NY at the Bottom Line in 1987 with a very eclectic band of all-stars: Dr. John, Garth Hudson, Marvin Stamm, Fernando Saunders, Bill Frisell, J.T. Lewis. Below is a review of that show. Music: Marianne Faithfull Returns (Published 1987)

Wow - great shot, too!

Unique landscape, for SURE. I was only there once, over 10 years ago, but I remember it was REALLY HOT.

Agreed. The live setting helps, too.

I have "Night of..." on both OG vinyl and 32Jazz CD reissue. A personal fav, for sure. Strata-East is about to start reissuing some of the classics, and I believe new artist releases, too.

Scenic!

One of their most intense albums yet. Very tight at focused. I was really surprised. I thought the last live one (Tilburg) was kind of inconsistent.

Been catching up with the JJ Johnson box, in light of his recent birthday. LOTS of music in there!

Very cool. I didn't know about this!

I believe it! As far as Woody's Muse albums, I snapped up "The Complete Muse Sessions" Mosaic box as soon as it was available. The median on that is now $200 - and those are CDs.

Tim had a "listening party" on Bandcamp for this album today. Sounds pretty great. The 2-disk CD is a limited edition -worth getting.

They sponsored a "listening party" on Bandcamp today, so I bought the album online. Sounds great!
